Note-these are fairly calorie high snacks imo...typical serving (1/4 cup) which isn't that huge...is around 130-150 calories -why a tablespoon of granola as a food accent- in a smoothie, atop ice cream-or creamy yogurt for example = satisfying crunchy indulgence...which also happens to be how yogurt -with crunchy additions- are packaged by company giants like Chobani etc.

My Wife's Granola-Alegria Fine Foods..one of 3 flavors-this one is crunchy yummy mix with hint of spice- the cinnamon/nutmeg= just right.

This smiling duo (Penny and Peter-there' two more founding pals too) - part of the entrepreneurial amazing The Brooklyn Foodworks-located in a former Pfizer factory ...BAD SEED's Chili Granola===aka "MEET GRANOLA'S EVIL TWIN"

Savory and Spicy...Chili Granola...we'd say is def not a breakfast food-and-sold in a jar-in garlicky hot spicy oil- used instead of flavored breadcrumbs, hot sauce or as a condiments atop pastas, as a sandwich 'spread', in salad dressings, atop yogurt or mixed in with any main dish entree. Not gluten free-there is barley in the miso paste used...but for everyone else-spicy hot (Korean chili and anaheim chili powder), ginger, garlic, cayenne, seeds... a tad sweet (brown sugar, honey, organic coconut palm sugar) is a sophisticated mix - unusual and cool in a hot way.

Low Sugar-Lizi's Granola- we anticipate more and more granola offerings with less sugar as consumers are more aware of how not fab sugar is-especially added sugar- for anything-health and looks wise-inflammatory bad for facial skin, etc. AND with the US's new labeling requirements showing the added sugars in food should be eye opening for sure. Lizi's Granola low sugar-with less than 4 grams of added and natural sugar per serving-is already a best selling product for this UK company-jumbo rolled oats, rapeseed oil, pumpkin+sunflower seeds, assorted nuts-give the protein---cashews, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, desiccated coconut, fructose and black treacle-non-GMO.

Purely Elizabeth grain free granola (less the oats or grains typically found in granola) has cashews as the main ingredient---with organic banana puree and superfood seeds (pumpkin, hemp, chia), cashew butter, coconut oil with hints of vanilla and sea salt...there's also 2 flavors of Probiotic Granola-with a patented vegan strain we did't try.
